Hi Jemima

Profile Information
- Profile information
- Since completing his Masters from the Royal College of Art, Professor Robertshaw has worked across commercial, cultural and artistic sectors. As an academic he has worked across a number of institutions including the University of Wales and Liverpool John Moores University. Whilst at Salford University he developed and was course leader for, the MA Creative technology. He came to prominence as a creative interactive artist exhibiting in major galleries around the world. Most notably he was shortlisted for the Imaginaria Award in 1998 and received many commissions including work from the Wellcome Trust in 1998. His focus changed in 2000 when he appointed Head of Research at the International Centre for Digital Content at Liverpool John Moores University, developing creative solutions across a number of technologies within cultural, creative and commercial sectors. He took over as Director in 2003 of ICDC and drove the development of a Digital Academy project on Merseyside the first phase of this is now in place with grants from Government Office Northwest and Northwest Development Agency totalling 11 million pounds.
He has now moved to the University of Central Lancashire where he is Director of Sandbox, Centre for Creative and Digital Industries.
Sandbox, is an initiative from the University of Central Lancashire that brings together a wide range of skills and expertise to allow the generation of new and collaborative forms of working. Its creative workspace, facilities and staff enhance the capabilities of cross disciplinary forms of development and production across academia and industry.
In its simplest form Sandbox is a physical and staff research development Centre that enables and provides support for interdisciplinary activity that has Digital at its core. The research is user-centred rather than solely reflective.
Fundamental to the vision is that we work with the research community, industry and new start up opportunities. The Sandbox builds connections across Faculties at UCLan to enhance research opportunities, new developments and activities to achieve an effective true interdisciplinary centre that is a catalyst in generating new ideas, projects, and products and exploiting those new opportunities.
The Sandbox itself will be a Centre that will provide two key elements;
Firstly a unique combination of interdisciplinary practitioners that develops new digital interactive service innovations in collaboration with and influencing industry, culture and communities. This group will be made up of staff that are capable of delivering real value in research and production and will come from academia, industry, residencies and staff from UCLan that have been allocated time to work within the Centre.
Second by providing an innovation environment that will allow companies, Faculties, Departments, cultural organisations to engage, debate, and find solutions through a unique combination of interdisciplinary activity, creative technological toolkits and expert facilitation.

Quiet: the power of introverts in a world that can’t stop talking
